View Full Version : URGENTLY wanted
Heys guys and girls,
I was out riding yesterday, and for some reason my rear hugger decided to crack/snap in 3 out of the 4 mounts.
I need a blue rear hugger for a curvy ASAP as i'm going to Brighton at the end of next week and don't fancy doing a 400 mile round trip without a chain guard :confused:
Cheers everyone

You tried repairing it?
No i think it's broken beyond repair, plus, I'm quite useless when it comes to anything even remotely DIY ish lol

If you can use superglue, I have a method that is simple and will be better than new.
theres quite a few pieces missing though from it rattling around before me realising that it was buggered, so i don't think it would be possible mate.
What would you're suggestion have been just out of curiosity?

Q-Bond
It's super glue, with a separate powder. You glue the bits like normal, then sprinkle some power on the inside of the join, then glue and powder and so on, until you have built up a layer of new plastic on the inside. It ends up stronger that the original plastic.
Very good stuff and very easy to use.

Thats ok if you have all the bits!!

Quick hint - you will find it easier to get a chain guard than a hugger.
So ask a MOD to change your thread title to something useful, like "Hugger/Chain Guard urgently needed" and go down that route.
Unfortunatly I have already given away the couple of spare cjain guards I had.
cheers for the advice guys, unfortunately i don't have the missing bits.
I have just bought a second hand hugger from an orger but he neglected to tell me that it was almost as broken as the one it should have been replacing, so don't think i can use that one either.
I needed it tomorrow as i'm going to brighton so doing roughly a 500 mile round trip. Looks like i'll just have to do it without a hugger or chain guard :(
